Notes
- Using fresh and premium spices is the best approach to make pulao masala powder at home. It will make a real difference in taste and flavor.
- Roast each of the spices on a low flame. Slow roasting will bring out the best aroma of the natural oils in the spices.
- Cooling the roasted spices is essential for achieving the desired texture of the powder. It will also help in preserving the flavor of the mixture.
- You must grind the spices to perfection. So, take time and grind a couple of times to get a fine powder. I prefer grinding the spices in small batches while making a lot of it.
- If you intend to use the powder quite frequently, I would suggest storing it in small amounts in separate containers. This will prevent exposing the entire masala powder every time you need just a spoonful.
